Narrative

Welcome to

The World's Journal

A content network where the members rule and are rewarded.

What

What is Narrative

Flipping the Big Social model, Narrative is a content network that puts the members in charge, makes good
content easy to find, and distributes 85 percent of revenue to users. There are three types of content channels:

Personal Journals

Personal Journals offer users a space where only their content can be posted. The content is not moderated and all members can view/comment.

Niches

Niches are communal subjects that anyone can post to. Each niche has an owner, who is rewarded based on the overall quality of content in the channel.

Publications

Publications are special channels designed for companies, personal brands, organizations or publishers that want to control who can post and manage the content on their channels.

Why

It's Fair For Everyone

Currently, social networks and other publishing platforms set content policies from on high, usually
arbitrarily enforced, and earn billions of dollars off of the backs of their users. Narrative flips the
script by putting its members in control of not only their content and data, but also the community at large.

Social Networks

Current social networks subjugate users—giving them no control over content or
data and retaining nearly all revenue.

Solution

With Narrative, the middleman is eliminated, as users have management authority over the
content and receive nearly all of the revenue derived from the system.

Publications

Bloggers, magazine and newspaper writers struggle to monetize their content as ad services and
publishers take a huge cut for the content marketing they provide.

Solution

How

The New Content Economy

Narrative is changing the game with a powerful economic model that rewards the people creating and
facilitating great content, with substantial revenue sources to build and sustain the network.

85% of all revenue is distributed to users.

In the Content Economy, users govern the system, with each user’s contributions and actions,
influenced by overall reputation, impacting the economic reward. The economic motive is to reward
all users who add value. Narrative uses blockchain technology as the basis for a content currency,
creating tangible value around user-generated content.

Reputation & Content Scoring

Reputation scores and content ratings ensure that “bad eggs” have minimal impact and that quality users and content rise to the top and are rewarded the most.

For All to See

Transparency

Narrative is a completely transparent system. All actions of authority (moderator actions,
Tribunal actions, etc.) are logged and published for all to see. All revenue-related
transactions are also displayed. The financials of the organization will also be audited and published.

Authority

Member Governance

Narrative members have management authority of all content. Content is owned by users, moderators are elected, and a user-elected Tribunal is the final authority on all issues related to content and data on the network. Every ad that appears on the network is subject to community approval, as well.

Rewards Paid

Crypto-Phobics Welcome

Although Narrative utilizes cryptocurrency to capture the economic value of the network, users do not have to have any understanding of blockchain or cryptocurrency. The service is completely free to use and rewards will be paid in either crypto or traditional currency.
